Stern might do better if they ADVANCED teh game of pinball instead of reproducing the same old tables. the DMD display has been out how many years now? 15? Why no color LCD screens? Adaptive play rules? changing tables? You could easily have a rule set that flips a portion of the table over revealing a new playfield, or lifting one up into a 2-tier playfield. Pinball isn't dead, the makers imagination is....
Gary Stern is not the last pinball mfg. He's the most successful (just barely) and his own stupidity will ruin his company. Mr Pinball Australia just bought the rights to Williams and Bally and will be producing new pinballs, parts, remakes, who knows for sure. Good? Bad? Who knows, but Gary Stern will no longer be the only game in town. Gary Sterns arrogance clearly shows in that interview. Maybe if Stern were more forward thinking and not relying on multi-million dollar licensing deals, they could bring some originality back to pinball.
still no retail sales, still only prototypes in images and video. An engine that has reliability problems, and all yours fora cool $1million dollars. Uh, no thanks. I'll be amazed if this car ever sees the light of day. They need to cut their losses and move on.
Why don't they list the aprox. times when items will be auctioned off? Basically I have to watch it all day now so i can bid on a few items? (Nope, not telling which ones I want)
such a shame... what the hell did M$ see in his URL that scared them? No one would ever type that in tto get to microsoft.com, not even illiterate monkeys.
I swear the Sci-Fi channel thinks it caters to geeks who don't care about the quality of a show, they just want space ships and laser guns. How can they turn a classic TV show upside down and expect it to succeed? Clearly remaking BSG is a ploy to get fans of the classic to watch. But changing the story and characters is the surest way to alienate the fans of the classic. Anyone not familiar with BSG will not watch anyway. No, Sci-Fi Channel has shot themselves in the foot. I just hope they don't have a Dagget or the mining planet with aliens who harvest humans.
I for one refuse to watch this garbage. Boomer and Starbuk as females is sacralige.

Mr Pinball has his white wood... I think he's well on his way. The pessimists can keep complaining until the cows come home.
Not hard at all, but then again I'm not Gary Stern. Besides i was just throwing out quick imaginative examples.....

No, I don't care either...
Life just ins't fair....
If the UN could take care of the Nigerians, then I'm all for it! Look out Col. Mustaffa(ret) the UN wants that hidden $20 million.

Maybe you needed to pay more attention in Engrish class?
Need cliff notes! I don't have 8 hours to read this while at work!
I know this has been on slashdot many times before. I have the map printed out from a slashdot article 1.5 years ago...

180MPH, not on this planet. Wind resistence alone will keep a bike under that speed.
show me 1 production sportbike that can hit 180mph. It's just not in the realm of possibility.

I guess it's easier to get "grants" from Microsoft in the form of fines, than it is to issue bonds.
Seems like the cold war has reached the internet. They attack, we automagically retaliate. Bye bye WWW.

...and only works 9 month a year! *groan*
I heard it's a $25.000.000.oo accessory ;)
Microsoft was right all along...
